The Fruits Of Victory: A Sequel To The Great Illusion (1921)

The Fruits of Victory is a sequel to the highly influential book, The Great Illusion, written by Norman Angell in 1910. This book, published in 1921, continues Angell's examination of the causes and consequences of war. In The Fruits of Victory, Angell argues that the outcome of World War I proved that the idea of a military victory leading to lasting peace was a fallacy. He contends that the war had only served to exacerbate existing tensions and create new ones, resulting in a world that was more unstable and dangerous than ever before. Angell also explores the economic and political factors that contributed to the war, including the role of nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism. He argues that these forces must be addressed in order to prevent future conflicts. Throughout the book, Angell uses historical examples and contemporary events to support his arguments. He also provides recommendations for how nations can work together to create a more peaceful and prosperous world. Overall, The Fruits of Victory is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the aftermath of World War I and the challenges facing the world in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
